My Views - 

Finally, I start reading Harry Potter books. I've been reading/reviewing since 2017. Before that, I never pick up a novel, but I was always into movies. I watch Harry Potter movies a lot. Like a lot. I never get bored and always think to read the book once in my lifetime. Here I am done reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. 

I don't think you need me to tell you that it is a fantasy book or about the characters because if you're reading this article, you knew about it already. JK Rowling's first book sold millions of copies like other volumes, but as they say, books are much better than movies. I agreed. There are so many facts that Warner Bros. didn't reveal in the movie, and those facts make me feel like, oh, so, this is what actually occurred. 

I will share a few of these facts that they didn't show us in the Harry Potter movie. 

1. Ron Weasley has six older brothers. We know about Charlie, who is studying the dragons in Romania, Percy, Gryffindor's house Prefect, the twins George and Fred, but Bill's oldest one. He was the head boy. There is no mention of Bill in the Harry Potter movie.

2. When Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley, he met Draco Malfoy there for the first time.

3. In the movie, after shopping for school books and wand, Hagrid left Harry at the station, but in the book, after this, Harry stays for a month at his uncle's house. 

4. The scene where Draco told Harry to be a part of his group is shown in the school corridor, but it really happened on the train to Hogwarts. 

5. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione first met with Fluffy (the three-headed dog), Neville was with them. 

6. In the movie, they portray that there will be no exam, but the students already took it in the book before Harry faces the Quirrell. 

They skipped so many things, and I can go on with this for a long time, but I don't want to ruin your pleasure of finding out other facts. I enjoy reading this fast-paced fantasy book, and I know you and your child will cherish it too. I can't wait to start reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
